Food was served at Chandrapur's Deekshabhoomi on October 15 and 16 on the occasion of Dhammachakra Pravartan Din. The group 'Bhim Kanya Sangh' distributed masala bhat to the followers who came. According to the organisers, thousands of followers benefited.
On these two days, a very large crowd of Buddhist followers from across the country, abroad and far-flung areas had gathered at the historic Deekshabhoomi in Chandrapur. On the occasion of the ceremony, the Bhim Kanya Sangh group had made large arrangements to distribute masala bhat as mahaprasad on the Deekshabhoomi premises. The mahaprasad reached thousands of Dhammabandhus.
The group's members took up the responsibility on their own initiative. The aim was that the thousands of followers coming to Deekshabhoomi get drinking water and food, and that people attending the ceremony face no inconvenience. On both days, October 15 and 16, the distribution of masala bhat went on with full discipline and warmth. The crowd that came to pay homage at Deekshabhoomi praised the service warmly.
Under the guidance of Harsha Chandekar, former chairperson of the Gondpipri Panchayat Samiti, the group's women members handled the work on both days. Members worked day and night to make the food donation a success. Among those who made a significant contribution were Paurnima Chandekar, Rajshree Bombarde, Smita Titare, Reena Pathardi, Dhanashree Gedam, Supriya Wankar, Anamika Dhongde and Paurnima Sao, along with Vaishali Dethe, Rinu Wankar, Kalpana Nagrale, Parinita Meshram, Poonam Nagrale, Poonam Kaswate, Amrapali Kamble, Paurnima Mun, Shraddha Dahiwale, Sunita Bhasarkar, Shweta Wankhede, Sneha Alone, Shalu Bahade, Rajani Pazare, Shobha Chandankhede, Archana Jikhne, Rashmi Nimsarkar, Nirmala Thamke, Snigdha Hastak, Rinku Chalpurkar, Kajal Raipure, Panchasheela Bharne, Shubhangi Gorgate, Chanda Babne, Vaishali Wankar, Bahinabai Alone and Meera Bai Chandekar.
The women of the Sangh planned and worked together so that devotees at Deekshabhoomi would face no difficulty. Through this social service, a good atmosphere of brotherhood and dedication prevailed on the Deekshabhoomi premises. The group is receiving congratulations and praise from all quarters for the initiative.
